Tentative Route for VT
Looking at the map today. As long as all the roads are smooth on my dry run. The Violation Tour run will be heading out from Savanna IL, crossing over into Iowa through Dubuque. We will follow the Mississippi River north crossing into Prarie Du Chien WI to continue following the mighty miss. The short ride from Prarie Du Chien up to LaCrosse is something I have done before and its awesome. Before we hit Lacrosse we will go East through Wildcat Mountain State Park area, ending up in Mauston WI. Thanks for everyones input on roads and etc. Its only January and Im getting the itch. |
Update
Thanks to my friend Darci Buttera, we have our final camping site for the Violation Tour. She put me in touch with her buddy Pete who has 7 acres in the middle of nowhere near Mauston,WI. From what I gather theres a river, waterfall, and some cliff diving to be had. I'd imagine it to be just as majestic as this beautiful unicorn that you see above.
Tentative plans
Friday June 15th, Pre Party in Savanna IL Free camping behind the bar
Saturday June 16th, 3-5 hour scenic ride through some of the best WI backroads you've ever ridden.
I really cannot wait, I think this years run will be of the better ones.
VIVA LA VIOLATION TOUR!!!!!

FINALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So 1 1/2 years later and I have finally finished. I've been going through a bunch of shit like most people do where I had to get my life together and take care of what is important. Got a new job that has been taking up most of my time and the rest goes to my 9 year old son and old lady. So with that sliver of free time that I have, I was able to finish up up my 77 Ironhead. I'm soo happy how this bike turned out. The down side is that it is the middle of winter and I'm dying to lay down some miles. I gotta give a shout out to a few people. Bobby "the leg" aka tri pod, from King Kustoms out of Lombard IL did most of my welding, let me use his machines/tools, and made/designed a sweet oil tank bracket for me. Dave York from KDX Auto Painting out of Lakemoor IL laid down the beautiful 3 stage Rootbeer. Dale from Dales M/C out of Island Lake IL helped me out with the engine, and other little stuff. Like I said, finally it is done and I am looking forward to getting some miles ridden with those who I am close with and new! Oh, I almost forgot to thank Joshua Sebastian. Even though I re-covered the solo seat, thanks for handing it my way and for giving me stories to tell!

Had to steal this from goingnowherefaststl.blogspot
I ride because it is fun. I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding. I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so. I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone. My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself. I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex. I learn everything I can about my machine, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well-being. I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn it’s limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team. I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it. My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be. I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me. I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them. I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end. I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be bitch-slapped. It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered. I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them. I will stand ready to help any other bikers that truly needs my help. I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself. I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where-ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.
